Chinees-Indisch Restaurant De Roos in Wijk 06 Nijmegen-Zuid

Despite the busy time, I was helped well and quickly. I had ordered in advance, which makes it easier. Great service, friendly staff, and the food was delicious. Excellent!

After hearing several positive experiences about Chin Ind Rest de Roos, I wanted to treat myself to Chinese food again today. Every now and then, I find it just that delicious. So, I decided to get takeout from de Roos. Super friendly ladies at the counter. It was very pleasant talking to them. I must say that I genuinely found the food super tasty, but of course, that remains a matter of personal taste. The quality was also excellent. What struck me the most? The flavors immediately brought back fond memories of the Chinese food I remember from my childhood, and I mean that as a compliment. I will definitely be back.

Super tasty food, and affordable

We had a delicious meal here (on-site, in the restaurant). Friendly and helpful staff member!

Good quality Chinese food. Good value for money. Friendly staff. A breath of fresh air that restaurants like this can still be found. Top notch!

In my experience, this is the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at. The food was a huge disappointment, and the owner came across as unfriendly and uninterested. When you read the many negative reviews and recurring customer complaints, it seems that little is done with that feedback. Self-reflection or improvement is nowhere to be found. A piece of good advice for the owner: spend a little less energy brushing off criticism and a little more on listening to your customers. Ultimately, they are the ones who determine whether a restaurant has a future. My advice to others: spare yourself the disappointment and your money, and go eat somewhere else.

The food is always delicious when we come here!

We had a truly delicious meal yesterday! There is no fat on the meat and plenty of it too. I read something about the meat not being crispy, but that is not true. It was actually nice and crispy! The chop suey also had plenty of vegetables. Everything is well seasoned, but not overly so. Super friendly service. We are happy.

Delicious food in peace and quiet. Best Chinese in the neighborhood.

One of our favorite restaurants! The food is always super delicious. We were there for a birthday, and the service was very friendly as well. Atmosphere is also pretty nice.

Always delicious, especially the babi pangang. Best in Nijmegen.

Since there's been a new owner (for a while now), it's not what it used to be, including the chicken spring rolls with four small pieces of chicken in them! Spring rolls no longer have a crispy crust! I went back again after that, but the same thing happened again: no crispy crust, just soft, and you can't even call it a chicken spring roll. Such a shame! Thank you for your message. A response to your message. 1. Travel time is not the reason the crust is soft. We live across the street. 2. I contacted you about this a few weeks ago by email. I received a response saying you would look into it. Not the response you're giving here now. Back then, the chicken spring rolls were also still partly cold and soft. Because the chicken spring rolls were now soft again, I've written a review. 3. If you choose a chicken spring roll, you might expect it to contain a little more chicken, especially since this was previously the case. And that it has to be indicated that the crust should be fried crispy is new to me; it was simply fried crispy.

The food was delicious, but unfortunately, we received a bowl of nasi instead of the bami we ordered. We ended up with three bowls of nasi, a bit much. The atmosphere... It's a Chinese takeout place, what can I say? It looked great.

Had the Singapore Mihoen, it was great.

Picked up a set menu on Saturday, it was delicious and sufficient, the dishes were well prepared and tasty.

Delicious food, friendly service, and fair prices. Highly recommended!

I've lived in the Nijmegen area my whole life (54 years) and am a huge fan of foreign food, including so-called Dutch Chinese dishes. I've also tried almost every restaurant in the area. Roos is definitely the best restaurant for takeout. Delicious flavors and crispy where it should be. Highly recommended! The attached photos are menu A and B, both for two people, with the option of two Nasi this time, so that's for a total of 4 people, including the famous long prawn crackers. It was delicious again! If you find my review helpful, please give it a like. It's a small effort for you, but it makes a big difference for me.

After a day of work, a delicious meal for two with vegetarian nasi goreng, foe yong hai, tjap tjou, and gado gado. Fast and friendly service, on the table within 10 minutes. Excellent!

Very tasty food, everything well prepared. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They serve more than enough, and we can't finish it.

Super good food, and especially the staff behind the counter are always polite and friendly. As an added bonus, you get a piece of prawn crackers with your order, and more restaurants should learn from them. I know people who drive 60 km to eat there; they love it so much. Keep it up, Roos! 👍👍

Always friendly. Delicious spring rolls, noodles, and nasi! 🍹

For 30 euros the three of us had a delicious meal, I will definitely come back again

A traditional Chinese restaurant. I came here as a little boy.

10/10, large order placed for a party. Dishes were sublime and delivery was literally on time. Even got a bottle of wine. Didn't have to, but super sweet of course

One of the best Chinese takeaways in the city, a household name in Nijmegen for more than 45 years

Top price-quality ratio. Delicious food, short waiting time.

Fantastic food and amaizing service

In my opinion, the best Chinese in all of Nijmegen.

Just a very good Chinese restaurant

Just got a monthly menu for 2 people and extra tenderloin at De Roos. Terrible! It has no taste at all. The sauces are watery and the tenderloin looks like pieces of a chamois cloth!! We used to think it was great, but since the takeover there is nothing left of it! 2x after takeover, 2x scandalous!!! Never come there again!!!!

Sinds nieuwe eigenaar ronduit slecht. Waterige sauzen. Totaal geen smaak aanbhet eten. Ossenhaas lijkt wel stukjes zemen lap! Schandelijk!!!

We have bought food at "de Roos" twice in the last two weeks. Bami and spring rolls. It was absolutely good and delicious. The only point of criticism is that there was very little prawn crackers.

Good babi pangang and friendly ABN speaking staff 😉

With the new owner it's over for me with Roos 🌹 not only the taste but also the presentation of the food is a reason for me not to come again after 30 years. Last Thursday evening the Indian rice table was mainly salty. The once delicious nasi was full of unappetizing brown fatty meat, not tender white meat as we are used to from Roos. There was also no Indian taste through all the salt. What really closed the door was that there was no babi pangang. While this is stated on the menu, the price was also more than advertised. This incident is not an isolated incident. In recent months we have often had concerns about Roos' taste and choice of meat. Roos is no more, tribute to the old owner who always made every meal festive and tasty.

You wouldn't say it, but delicious Chinese

delicious noodles with beef tenderloin eaten at the rose

It looks a bit shabby from the outside, but it is neat and tidy and the food and drinks are delicious

I hadn't been here for a while, but now we felt like getting Chinese again. A new owner appears. Fortunately, the taste and quality are still as usual. Friendly people too. The monthly menu was ready within minutes.

Just picked up food, the taste was slightly different than the previous owner, but we had a delicious meal, absolutely great! We will definitely keep coming back from Mook.

Good food, good service lovely people

After reading reviews I'm unsure... Ordered the monthly menu anyway. Nassie has been cooked for too long and or cheaper rice has been used, which makes it mushy, not loose dry fried grains of rice. The noodles are also a bit smaller, drier and just like the nasi, it lacks taste... less fat in it? The babi pangang is dry and overcooked. Overall edible but far from excellent. Leftovers also not kept. Last time for me...

We have been coming here for years, but today was the last time for us. The babi pangang was inedible. Huge fat, no atjar, etc. Found out that it had been taken over, I just think they forgot about the quality during the takeover.

Delicious food and a wide choice. Very friendly employees.

Very tasty food and good portions. Recommended!

Very good dumpling soup and steamed dumplings which is what I ate. Quite and pleasant restaurant which runs by a nice Chinese couple . Enjoyed my dinner very much

Pleasant service. Dishes prepared with care and love. Decoration and art hobby of the cook.

Been coming here for years and the food is always delicious 👌🏻

Ordered chicken in sambal sauce, tasteless, disgusting, this was the last time again

Nieuwe eigenaar, wat een slecht eten! Zo goed als ze eerst waren, zo slecht zijn ze nu. Heel jammer, ooit de beste Chinees van Nijmegen.....

Unfortunately, I have to adjust my previous review about the Roos negatively.... The Ke family has stopped and things have not gotten better since the takeover. Everything tastes different, just not tasty anymore. It can't be that difficult to continue a restaurant in the same way, can it? And I think there is still a lady behind the counter who used to work there. Then it must be completely easy to continue in the same way, right? ************************************ Best Chinese in Nijmegen, always friendly, and very tasty food. Too bad the savings points are gone...

We've been four more times since it's been under new ownership. The quality cannot be compared to the previous owner. Bami is bland. Rames meat, the only thing we tasted was salt salt salt and I could go on and on. Rames meat was really inedible and we threw it away. It's a pity that they have not maintained the old recipes, because this is the reason that people from far and wide come to Chinese De Roos. For us it is a shame but unfortunately it was the last time.

I've been coming here since I was a child, but since the new owner it's no longer there. Bami tasteless, pangsit sauce completely different and without fruit. Rames meat is terribly salty and seems to come straight from a can, really unedible. Koe loe yuk is served in the sauce, so when you get home everything is soggy and the meat is also very dry. Babi pangang fat and I could go on and on. What the Ke family has achieved will now be ruined in no time. Shame. It can't be that difficult to take over everything 1:1 because this will really cost you a lot of customers.

Gewoon waar voor je geld....goede smaak vd meer authentieke gerechten! Prettige bediening en een reden temeer om het te herhalen!

September 2024 Just picked up food from the new owner of Roos again and I am completely happy. The food tastes like old times again. The rice, babi pangang, everything is the same as before the takeover. Perhaps in July the new owner still had to look for the right choices as a recipe for the restaurant. But I can now heartily recommend Roos again. July 2024 I came here for over 20 years, but immediately noticed that something had changed in the food. The rice has changed, has become enormous sticky rice. No more nice dry granules. The babi pangang is also no longer edible. Bad meat and bad sauce. Roos was the best Chinese in Nijmegen, was a bit more expensive than the competition, but I was happy to pay more and drive a bit. That time is over. The new owner has raised prices even further and cut back on quality. They won't see me again!

We have ordered from Orient Plaza for 10 years. The quality deteriorated considerably and we stopped making them. We ordered food from De Roos, and it was really great. From now on order from Roos. I never wrote a review, but this was worth it to silence negative comments. The food is really delicious.

New owner, but quality, quantity and taste as usual

We had a delicious meal at De Roos today. The portions were large and the employees friendly.

Last week I ordered my favorite menu no. 55 with noodles, but unfortunately I was very disappointed by the quality. I found out that the restaurant was taken over without this being announced. The noodles from my favorite menu had no taste at all. The meat of the babi pangang was fatty and very different. The pork was tough where it used to be nice and tender. There should be champions in it, but that was hardly the case. Instead of champions contained pieces of green and red peppers. The satay and sauce tasted different and bad. Too bad the quality is much worse while the price has increased. After the quality was very poor the first time after the takeover, I have now ordered twice again. Fortunately, the quality has improved considerably. So something has indeed been done with the criticism. Compliments for that.

The rose is no longer the rose I've had good food here for years, but since the takeover the food has not been tasty and greasy

Since there has been a new owner, the quality and price have not improved. Went there twice in the last week, both times not satisfied, paid for extra and did not receive it. I was only told that she had entered it correctly. Tried it again today, you order a large portion and then you get less than normal from the old owner and you also had to pay €8 extra for it. This was the last time for me that the Roos had been coming for more than 13 years.

Rose is no longer really rose, which is a pity

It has a new owner and I think it's great. Yesterday I had shrimps with sweet and sour sauce and nasi without meat. I thought it was better with more shrimp, better taste and not too greasy, the nasi was delicious. In the past I also bought Chinese from the old owner and the quality was lower than in previous years. Prices have remained relatively the same in my opinion. Ronald

We had dinner here yesterday with a group of 6. 4 had been there before, the first time for me. In any case, I do not share the negative reviews that I read after the takeover. We ordered an Indian rice table. This arrived quickly, hot, fresh and deliciously prepared. My table companions, who had eaten here several times before, also noted that the food is still of good quality, as they were used to before. Only the menu had changed slightly, but that was all. Service is friendly and helpful. In short, I highly recommend it.

Food was of lower quality than we were used to. Apparently the restaurant has been taken over and not for the better. So that will be one less Chinese person in Nijmegen.

Good food for a good price. Babi pangang was beyond expectations. Very crispy and not too greasy.

Given the takeover of the restaurant, I had some doubts about eating here again, but I was certainly positively surprised! The menus are always delicious, tender and tasty meat, well seasoned. The new staff is also very friendly & helps where necessary. We will definitely come back!

I am very reserved. We ordered food from the takeaway blindly, on advice. I also didn't read any reviews to go into it with an open mind. The noodles were okay, the foe yong hai was also fine, but the babi pangang was not what I am used to. The taste was overly 'animal' as if you were dealing with offal. I read from the reviews that the old owners deliver better quality. For now I hope that there will be more positive reviews, because then I have an idea whether I will order food again or eat in the restaurant. If it improves, I am of course willing to write a new review.

Such a shame the rose was the best Chinese restaurant in Nijmegen, the whole of Nijmegen knows this rose I have been coming here since I was little, now I got nasi with chicken, mushroom, peanut sauce, but sorry for the new owners, but it was not tasty at all, the sauce is normally translucent, now it was brown in color and not the taste as it should be or at least what we are used to... I think that unfortunately, after all the years, the Chinese also have the rose at the end, such a shame, 18 euros were thrown away 😢😢😢

Nice place, good service, food is great, we like coming there

We have been coming to De Roos for years, wonderful friendly people, always helpful, very good quality food, we have to drive for a while, but definitely worth it, the Chinese a little further down the street from us certainly cannot and should not match the quality of De Roos. Rose Well filled spring rolls So go to De Roos if you want good food

New owner? We ordered Babi Ketjap and were asked chicken or pork?? Babi is still a pig. When we arrived home, the Babi ketjap turned out to be an unclear bowl of vegetables with fatty meat cubes....not edible... Such a waste of the good name. Close that trade

The new owner has destroyed the good reputation and delicious food in one day. The food was bland, the babi pangang uses different meat and a lot of fat. The sauce different. The daging was first as tender as it could be, now tough. Prices immediately went up. The price-quality ratio decreased to a negative point within 1 day.

I've been coming there with my mother since I was a child, wonderful, lovely people there and the food is also delicious, so definitely recommended!!

The food is delicious, especially the large spring rolls

Fantastic restaurant. Call and pick up. Waiting time zero. Food simply very tasty. Too bad they don't do delivery. Sometimes there is no time to drive. Be a customer much more often during delivery.

Regular customer for years. Would be happy to take a detour for it. Half an hour there and half an hour back, but then also value for money

Always good food there. Nothing to complain about

Very dirty food, I had a cigarette butt in my food and a very uncustomer friendly old lady asked for a little water She just had to order a glass to take medicine. Never come here again, greasy, dirty, rancid food

Delicious food, best Chinese in Nijmegen

the food was perfect. very tasty. only 3.75 for a coke, well a bit expensive.

Good service, friendly staff, but the most important thing is that I think the Chinese is the tastiest in all of Nijmegen.

Always tasty again :-) this is something special

Was busy on Sunday evening, but it is the best Chinese in Nijmegen and the surrounding area.

The rice table was really very good. The service friendly. We were all alone in the restaurant, but a lot of things were ordered to take away.

Food too salty, zero carbonated cola. I saw this one get shocked. Was Coke Zero from Aldi...fine, but no spark at all. Narrow glasses for 4 euros. For this price you buy 6 bottles of 1.5 liters. One of the kids knocked over a glass of water. New gauze was filled at the tap for 4 euros. Maybe the takeaway is good, but it's not nice to eat here. This was the worst Chinese meal I have ever eaten. Unfortunately.

Best Chinese takeaway in the region! Food is prepared with love and taste, service is always friendly and helpful, even if you want to change a dish.

Friendly girls will assist you well.

Takeaway food and tasted good. Sufficient seating in the waiting area.

Food is very good. One of the best in Nijmegen!

Class and good food, nothing to complain about

Almost nostalgically old-fashioned. Time has really stood still here. But I think that is also the charm of this tent. The food is of good quality and the portions are generous. The service is good and you will not be short of anything. The atmosphere is somewhat desolate. This was partly due to the fact that the restaurant was empty (mainly a lot of take-out), but the square where it is located also exudes faded glory. In short, a special experience. Nostalgia in a special atmosphere with good food for a fair price!

Super good and fresh food, friendly service and if you call in advance, everything is perfectly ready, highly recommended!

Decent Chinese. There are two entrances: one for takeaway and one to the restaurant. We were alone in the restaurant on a Sunday evening, unfortunately there was no heating. Plates weren't warmed up, the little candles under the menus didn't help. Food are generous and delicious. The service understands neither English nor German.

Good food, it's a pity that points are no longer awarded

De Roos is the best Chinese-Indian restaurant in Nijmegen and beyond.

The food is really very tasty. It was very busy tonight, staff a bit grumpy.

Going further and further behind

excellent food nice friendly service quality everything is prepared with craftsmanship I don't understand why people complain I think that's mean these people do their very best greetings

One of the highlights! Delicious! It's not for nothing that it's always so busy there. That says enough I think :)

The food has gotten worse. They won't see me there anymore!
